The class of cnidarians that typically only live as polyps is the Anthozoa. This class includes sea anemones and corals, which exist primarily as polyps and do not have a medusa stage in their life cycle.
The dominant stage of cnidarians is the polyp stage. Polyps are typically attached to a substrate and have a cylindrical body with tentacles surrounding a central mouth. They are the primary stage for feeding and reproduction in the life cycle of cnidarians.
